CARVALHO, Carla Santos et al. Work-family interference and work-family facilitation: a study of measurement invariance between genders. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.42-63. ISSN 1516-3687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v20n2p42-63.

Work-family relationship is a subject of great interest for research, and studies have shown differences between genders. The aim of this study was to analyze measurement invariance between men and women, with reference to Work-Family interference among teachers. The W-F Scale (Carvalho & Andrade, 2012) was applied to a sample of 610 Portuguese higher education teachers. Dimensionality was tested by means of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The structure of the proposed theoretical model was well adjusted to the multi-group sample. Chi-square test was used to perform measurement invariance testing. Impact factors of the W-F Tension on Work and of W-F Tension on Family were invariant among teachers, indicating independence with regard to gender. Measurements for the remaining factors (Work Interference with Family, Family Interference with Work, Work as Family Life Facilitator, and Family as Work Facilitator) varied between men and women.

Palabras clave : work-family; work-family interference; work-family facilitation; gender differences; measurement invariance.
